MJ with an incredible offensive and defensive performance against the Dallas Mavericks during his MVP and Defensive Player of the Year season. Although this game wasn't one of the game Haberstroh mentioned in his article, I decided to upload it because it is a home game and it shows how good his defence was. MJ was credited in the box score with 2 blocks and 4 steals. To be honest, I actually think he had 4 blocks and 2 steals, but they may have credited some of his blocks as steals; especially the strips/blocks on Mark Aguirre at 3:00 and 3:38.
00:05 blocks Aguirre from behind
00:38 partially block Harper's shot (hard to see from the angle of the video but commentator says it was partially blocked)
1:28 MJ steal
1:55 MJ deflects ball on double team but ball goes out of bounds
2:22 MJ forces turnover with ball pressure on post feed
2:25 MJ behind the back, between the legs and assist for layup
3:00 MJ blocks Aguirre from behind again leading to open Paxson jumper
3:38 MJ strips Aguirre on drive again.
After watching this game, it is clear that MJ didn't need statisticians to make up steals and blocks because he got enough of them legitimately.
